We would like to thank people and businesses in our community for supporting the Ipswich Farmers' Market: Bank North for contributing funds for a canopy as shade for seniors whom we would like to encourage to visit the Market, Charlie Curtis at Napa Auto Parts who has offered us storage for all our gear for the past 5 years and to EBSCO who is taking over this job. A special thanks to EBSCO for making the Market possible by providing the space for the vendors and visitors. We also appreciate the help of Tony Wohl who designed the attractive flyer and Theresa at Ipswich Printing and Copy Center and Rick Nelson for printing it. Thank also to Ipswich Party Shop for the festive balloons for the opening day.
Judy Wohl, who is organizing the Market this year , is joined by Dale Green and Nancy Scanzani. All have worked hard to enlarge the Market by enlisting new vendors and promoting ways to attract new buyers. They are responsible for bringing it all together.
New vendors are always welcome. Call Judy Wohl at 356-1186 to join in this enjoyable community project.
